But Theodor Seuss Geisel---better known as the children‟s books author Dr. Seuss ---who came into the world on 2 March, 1904, was an unusual man.Like generations of children I was raised on his wonderful stories. But when I now read them to my children it‟s not just the childhood memories I enjoy. His writing is brilliant and imaginative and flows with a self-confidence as sure as the words of a Shakespeare poem. Readers ride his characteristic rhythm (韵律) with an effortless joy that cannot be matched by any other modern writer:You have brains in your headYou have feet in your shoesYou can steer yourself any direction you chooseAnd will you succeed?Yes indeed, yes indeed!Ninety-eight and three-quarters percent guaranteed.Seuss‟s brilliant cartoons and clever words make his books a delight for adults but they attract mostly children of course. His stories teach kids moral lessons but in indirect and entertaining ways.The first Seuss book I was given was The Lorax, written just as the 60s were becoming the 70s. Seuss was ahead of his time, and in this book the dawn of concern for environmental problems are shown as the Lorax “who speaks for the trees” battles against an evil businessman who wants to destroy the forest and make goods “which everyone needs”.It‟s not only a warning of the heavy price of environmental destruction, written well before most people had thought to worry, but it‟s also a smart analysis of consumer societies: “Unless someone l ike you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better.” This is of course a moral message, but not of the kind designed to persuade the youngsters into behavior that adults want.21. Why does the author include Dr. Seuss‟s poem?A. To encourage readers to use their brains and choose their own way.B. To provide readers with an example of Seuss‟s writing style.C. To give readers a sample of Seuss‟s story The Lorax.D. To explain how relevant Seuss‟s stories remain today.22.When was the book The Lorax written?A. Early 1960s.B. Early 1970s.C. Late 1970s.D. Late 1960s.23. Which of the following is true about Seuss?A. His books are more popular now than when they were first published.B. He is widely considered as the twentieth-century Shakespeare.C. Many of the issues he discussed attracted greater concern in later years.D. Most readers thought his ideas were difficult to understand.BEven before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family.Once I ca me out of the kitchen, complaining ,“Mom, I can't peel （削）potatoes.I have only one hand.”Mom never looked up from sewing.“You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes ,”she told me.“And don't ever use that as an excuse for anything again !”In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel bar to the next.When it was my turn, I shook my head.Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Mom about it.She hugged me, and I s aw her “we'll see about that” look.The next afternoon, she took me back to school.At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.“Now, pull up with your right arm ,”she advised.She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other arm.Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung(横档)I reached.I'd never forget the next time, crossing the rungs，I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing.I could hear Mom come into my room.“Mom ,”I said, weeping ,“none of the boys would dance with me.”For a long time, I didn't hear anything.Then she said ,“Oh, honey, someday you'll be beating those boys off with a bat.”Her voice was soft and weak.I glanced at her to see tears running down her cheeks.Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf.She had never let me see her tears.24. Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe Mom's attitude when she made the child peel potatoes?A. Cruel.B. Favorable.C. Faithful.D. Strict.25. From the passage, we know monkey bars can help a child train ________.A. the strength and skill to hang and swingB. the speed of one's hand movementC. the skill to throw and catch thingsD. the skill to circle round a bar26. We may conclude from the passage that _____.A. the last incident was sad enough to make Mom weepB. The child‟s experience reminded Mom of that of her ownC. Mom suffered more in the process of the child‟s growthD. Mom could solve any problemCAsk someone what they have done to help the environment recently and they will almost certainly mention recycling. Recycling in the home is very important of course.However, being forced to recycle often means we already have more material than we need. We are dealing with the results of that over-consumption in the greenest way possible, but it would be far better if we did not need to bring so much material home in the first place.The total amount of packaging（包装）increased by 12% between 1999 and 2005.It now makes up a third of a typical household's waste in the UK. In many supermarkets nowadays food items are packaged twice with plastic and cardboard.Too much packaging is doing serious damage to the environment. The UK, for example,is running out of it for carrying this unnecessary waste. If such packaging is burnt, it gives off greenhouse gases which go on to cause the greenhouse effect. Recycling helps, but the process itself uses energy. The solution is not to produce such items in the first place. Food waste is a serious problem, too. Too many supermarkets encourage customers to buy more than they need. However, a few of them are coming round to the idea that this cannot continue, encouraging customers to reuse their plastic bags, for example.But this is not just about supermarkets. It is about all of us. We have learned to linkpackaging with quality. We have learned to think that something unpackaged is of poor quality.This is especially true of food. But it also applies to a wide range of consumer products, which often have far more packaging than necessary.There are signs of hope. As more of us recycle, we are beginning to realise just how much unnecessary material we are collecting. We need to face the wastefulness of our consumer culture, but we have a mountain to climb.27. What does the underlined phrase "over-consumption" refer to?ing too much packaging.B. Having more material than is needed.C.Recycling too many wastes.D.Making more products than necessary.28. The author uses figures in Paragraph 2 to show_______.A.the fact of packaging overuseB.the increase of packaging recyclingC. the tendency of cutting household wasteD.the rapid growth of supermarkets29. What can be inferred from Paragraph 4?A.Unpackaged products are of bad quality.B. It is improper to judge quality by packaging.C.Other products are better packaged than food.D.Supermarkets care more about packaging.30. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.Needless material is mostly recycled.B.People like collecting recyclable wastes.C. Fighting wastefulness is difficult.D.The author is proud of their consumer culture.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Things You Should Stop Doing to Be SuccessfulAre you a happy person? How often do you think of reasons why everyone around you is successful though they are not better than you in general? What do you do wrong? Here are some things you should stop doing to be successful.31Different people may interpret(解说) “success” in different ways：some of them measure it in money, other ones — in positive changes to people around them and the world in general. 32 D on‟t worry about what other people think but come after what makes you happy.Do not believe anything without questioning it.33 They are critical（批判性的）thinkers, and they understand that we all are ruled by our prejudices, so they will always question new information.Do not worry about all unpredictable things that may happen to you.If you want to be successful, stop thinking about everything that MAY happen to you. 34 Be ready to improve and change your deeds and decisions when things suddenly don‟t go according to your plan.Do not care about what other people think of you.35 Your attempts to become “good” for everyone will turn into nothing but new worries, stresses, and problems. Successful people do not concentrate on the quantity of people to please, but worry about their quality and focus on developing friendships with people they really care about.A. Do not wait for the “right time” to do anything.B. Do not let others decide what “success” is for you.C. Successful people do not just accept any new information to be true.D.As far as we all know, it‟s impossible to please all the people who surround us.E. Successful people never ignore or avoid problems，no matter how big and awful they seem.F. If you want to be successful, do not let others force their interpretation of success on you.G. Try to feel comfortable with the reality and accept the fact your future can‟t be predicted.第三部分：英语知识运用（共三节，满分45分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）“Just sign here, sir,” the deliveryman said as he handed Oscar Reyna a package.The package consisted of a long, narrow box __36____ wrapped in brown paper. __37___ the box, Oscar saw an umbrella inside—— a very old one with a beautifully carved handle. ____38___he had not seen it in more than 20 years, he recognized it ____39____.Oscar was 16 when he first saw the ___40____ umbrella.
